“Education  is  dependent  upon  books  and  the 
ability  to  use  them.”  In  every  business  or  pro- 
fession, books  are  a serviceable  tool  in  the  building 
of  success.  In  the  profession  of  teaching,  books 
are  not  only  a valuable  accessory  but  a prime  nec- 
essity. 

All  sorts  and  kinds  of  books  are  grist  to  the 
teacher’s  mill.  It  is  impossible  to  give  in  a list  of 
this  description  all  the  material  the  library  may 
have  which  would  be  of  use.  Therefore  we  have 
included  only  those  books  which  may  be  called  the 
teacher’s  tools  of  trade. 

It  is  our  present  intention  to  issue  a supple- 
ment to  this  list  every  September  so  that  each 
teacher  may  have  a fairly  complete  catalogue  of  the 
books  of  practical  interest  to  him  in  the  Attleboro 
Public  Library. 


l 


TEACHERS’  CARDS. 


Any  teacher  in  the  city,  on  stating  his  occupation, .is

A personal  card,  on  which  he  may  take — 

2 books  of  fiction,  provided  only  one  is  a 7-day  book. 

2 magazines,  loaned  for  7 days. 

Any  reasonable  number  of  non-fiction. 

A teacher’s  card,  on  which  he  may  take — 

As  many  books  of  non-fiction  and  as  many  pictures  as  he 
needs,  loaned  for  four  weeks.  Fiction  is  not  loaned  on  a 
teacher’s  card,  unless  it  is  for  school  use.

10  A.  M.  to  8 P.  M.  Saturdays  from  10  A.  M.  to  9 P.  M.

except  Thanksgiving,  Christmas,  and  July  4,  when  the 
entire  library  is  closed.

ing books,”  in  the  Quarterly  Bulletin. 

BOOKS  OF  PRACTICAL  INTEREST  TO  TEACHERS.

in  the  reference  collection.  The  letter  J.  before  a book  number  indicates 
that  it  is  a juvenile  book.

THE  CHILDREN’S  READING. 

Horace  Mann  has  said,  “Children  learn  to  read  by  being  in  the  pres- 
ence of  books.  The  love  of  knowledge  comes  with  reading  and  grows 
upon  it.  And  the  love  of  knowledge,  in  a young  mind,  is  almost  a war- 
rant against  the  inferior  excitement  of  passion  and  vice.” 

We  have  included  in  the  list  below  a few  books  on  children’s  read- 
ing and  several  selected  lists  of  books  for  children’s  reading,  recoup 
mended  by  various  authorities. 

No  one  has  so  great  an  influence  over  a child’s  reading  as  his  teacher. 
A book  given  the  stamp  of  her  approval  is  instantly  popular.  The  library 
would  be  glad  to  loan  on  any  teacher’s  card  as  many  books  as  are  needed 
for  a school-room  library.

CITIZENSHIP, 


“Schools  are  the  laboratory  for  our  democracy.”  They  are  the  first 
training  camps  for  good  citizenship.  There  will  be  no  need  for  special 
“preparedness”  when  each  child  is  taught  from  the  beginning  that  his 
life  belongs  to  the  state  in  the  degree  that  the  state  may  need  it,  whether 
it  be  for  peace  or  war. 

James  Earl  Russell,  Dean  of  the  Teachers  College,  writes  as  follows 
in  an  essay  on  “Education  for  citizenship”:  “A  new  era  lies  just  ahead 
and  it  is  our  business  to  get  ready  for  it.  What  we  need  in  this  country 
is  a system  of  educational  administration  that  shall  eliminate  the  politi- 
cian; a professional  spirit  that  shall  put  the  public  good  ahead  of  per- 
sonal gain;  teaching  and  school  management  that  shall  appreciate  rea- 
sonable law  and  secure  voluntary  obedience  to  constituted  authority; 
and  finally,  educational  leadership  that  shall  concern  itself  not  merely 
with  the  mechanics  of  school-keeping,  but  also  shall  rise  to  the  heights  of 
patriotic  citizenship.”

THE  SCHOOL  AND  THE  LIBRARY 


“The  one  best  possible  result  of  a common-school  education,  its  great 
end  and  aim,  should  be  to  prepare  the  children  of  the  community  for  the 
far  greater  work  of  educating  themselves.  The  schools  and  the  library 
should  do  their  full  work  together,  and  the  last  should  become  what  it 
ought  to  be,  the  natural  complement  of  the  first — the  People’s  College.”

STORY  TELLING. 

It  is  the  privilege  of  the  story-teller,  not  only  to  give  pleasure  but  to 
enlarge  the  vision,  widen  the  experience,  make  the  world  a friendly  place 
for  the  child  to  live  in. 

“Folk  say,  a wizard  to  a northern  king 
At  Christmas-tide,  such  wondrous  things  did  show, 

That  through  one  window  men  beheld  the  spring, 

And  through  another  saw  the  summer  glow, 

And  through  a third  the  fruited  vines  a-row, 

While  still,  unheard,  but  in  its  wonted  way, 

Piped  the  drear  wind  of  that  December  day. 

So  with  this  Earthly  Paradise  it  is, 

If  ye  will  read  aright.”
